Description:

From Taos Pueblo San Geronimo Day Website:

San Geronimo (Saint Jerome) Day is the Patron Saint of Taos Pueblo, occurring annually on September 30. This is the most significant event for the Taos Pueblo people. A colorful mix of culture and tradition stemming from time in memorial, come together in a matter of hours. The day begins with traditional footraces and continues with an all day open air market with artisans from different tribal communities coming from near and far. The afternoon is a bundle of laughter and humbling from the (lack of better term or explanation) traditional clowns. As a community coming and walking a fine line of maintaining our cultural beginnings and traditions of trade and sharing in a modern context, we open our home to the world to come and experience a day of who we are as Taos Pueblo people. We ask visitors to come with respect and understanding. All are welcome.
